Abstract
A high speed photofinishing apparatus for reading information/data from a photosensitive filmstrip and for writing data on a magnetic layer contained on the filmstrip. The apparatus comprises at least one device for reading information/data from the filmstrip and a magnetic write head for writing information/data on the magnetic layer at a predetermined location. The write head is positioned with respect to the at least one device for reading a distance sufficient for allowing sufficient computational time needed for processing the information/data so that it can be magnetically written on the magnetic layer at the predetermined location.
